Hi Folks,

Thanks so much for all your sweet and supportive comments about my school experience.  The school crappiness continues – most recently having a fit at me because I *dared* to request that people bring a list of ingredients to an upcoming potluck so I – and other folks with allergies – would know what we could eat.  However, I am really excited about my student teaching placement.  I start next quarter, but am there one day a week right now.  The kids and teacher are great *and* the teacher is a lesbian who says in all her years of teaching, she has never had a parent be concerned that she was teaching their child.  In your face, stupid MIT program that knows nothing.  I wish I could spend every day in that class.  Only six and a half weeks until I can do just that.

My friends at school are also really supportive.  When they heard about the school flipping out over my allergies yet again, one woman proposed that we all bring in laminated ingredients lists, displayed on placards.  Just to show how *not-difficult* the whole process was.  Another woman – who happens to have a nut allergy – said she was going to fake an allergy attack and then exclaim, “oh, I *wish* I had known what was in these dishes!”  They rock.
